Sign In
Same as Gmail
Type in your account info. and password, if your aren't already logged into Gmail.
Don't select the "Remember me" option, if you are on a freely accessible computer.
Click the "Sign in" button.
Upload
You'll land on a page with a list of all Google Docs and Spreadsheets to which you have access.
From the WWW
Click on the "Upload" button in the tool bar (top left).
Choose where to get the file you want to upload (computer or web). This process is the same for both docs and spreadsheets. For this example, I use an OpenOffice spreadsheet (Proto-PortfoliosVII-VIII.ods):
From your computer
Browse your computer directory till you find the file you want; OR
Copy and paste in the URL from the web.
Change the name of the file, if you wish.
In this example, I've tagged on a date code.
Click on the "Upload File" button, and voilà!
File is saved automatically.
Your new Google Doc or Spreadsheet will open, and get saved automatically.
You documents also appear in your main Google Docs file list:
Google Docs file list
Publish
If necessary, open your document by clicking on the file name in the file list. Then click on the Publish tab (top right). A dialog box will appear:
"not yet published"
Click "Publish Now" and details will appear:
Automatically re-publish (ON)
For this example, I choose the default ("All sheets"). This will let visitors view any part of any spreadsheet that you add later.
I also toggled ON the option, "Automatically republish when changes are made."
To get the code to publish your spreadsheet on your blog, open "More publishing options";
Select the format: "HTML to embed...";
Select a sheet (or all): This is as small spreadsheet, so I want to display "All Cells" (default).
HTML to embed all sheets: Your code will be different!
Then click "Generate URL" to get fresh code for any format, sheets, or cell range changes that you've made.
Copy your code into a blank document for use later in other locations (blogs, webpages, or wikis).
